O'Rourke drops f-bomb on live TV during concession to Cruz

Ted Cruz has narrowly won reelection against an historic challenge by Beto O'Rourke, who ran a staunchly progressive campaign that refused to appeal to moderates and Republicans in deep-red Texas.

O'Rourke's campaign drew support from various celebrity figures, including singer Beyoncé, National Basketball Association star LeBron James and country music legend Willie Nelson.

Even that was a shock for Cruz, who won 10-plus contests during the 2016 Republican presidential primary and has always been considered the most powerful and popular conservative in a state full of them.

He raked in donations from across the country and even set a new record for Senate campaign fundraising by collecting more than US$38 million in the three-month period from July through September alone.

Cruz is projected to win their close Senate race in Texas. We know that the hard-left right now, they're angry. "They're energised", Cruz said on Monday.
